This is the vision from my understanding. I think of it as Emacs for the web, instead of just text. Super compelling vision, I really hope they can pull it off.

I’ve tried Nyxt a few times but I find it quite difficult to hack on, at the time it required an elaborate Emacs + SLIME + Common Lisp setup…I don’t use CL very much so it was a lot of work and quite fragile. I hope they can get editing bootstrapped into Nyxt so that I can modify it in Nyxt itself instead of a bunch of complicated external tooling. As it stands, there’s too much friction for me to hack on it.
Regardless, tons of promise and I’m eagerly following its development!

- cle 5y agoWow nice! Thanks.
- vindarel 5y agoBTW, Emacs is not the only CL editor anymore. Besides Vim, Atom with SLIMA is getting very close to Slime. There are a couple extensions for VSCode, and more: https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl#text-editor-resources https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl#text-editor-resou... Happy lisping :)
